Environmental Engineering including an Industrial Year Beng (Hon)
Course Overview - Environmental Engineering including an Industrial Year Beng (Hon)
Launch your career as a highly sought-after environmental engineer with our BEng Environmental Engineering programme, including an industrial placement year.
As populations grow and demand for resources increases, the need for smarter, safer and cleaner solutions has never been greater. This course prepares you to design processes and products that minimise environmental impact; protect air, land and water; and make the most of our planet’s finite resources. You’ll graduate ready to engineer solutions that protect, preserve and restore the planet for future generations.
Launch your career as a highly sought-after environmental engineer with our BEng Environmental Engineering programme, including an industrial placement year.<br/><br/>As populations grow and demand for resources increases, the need for smarter, safer and cleaner solutions has never been greater. This course prepares you to design processes and products that minimise environmental impact; protect air, land and water; and make the most of our planet’s finite resources. You’ll graduate ready to engineer solutions that protect, preserve and restore the planet for future generations.<br/><br/>What sets this course apart is its focus on industrial relevance and a dynamic, hands-on approach to learning. You’ll engage in practical laboratory work, design and problem-based projects, independent and peer-led learning, and research grounded in real industrial challenges. From the start, you’ll build key design skills and apply them to design projects throughout your studies.<br/><br/><strong>Why choose this course?</strong><br/>- <strong>Top 5</strong> for Chemical Engineering in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 and The Guardian University Guide 2025<br/><br/><br/>• World top 100 for Chemical Engineering (QS Top World University Rankings by Subject 2025)<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Accredited by the <strong>IChemE</strong> (Institution of Chemical Engineers)<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Accredited by the <strong>IOM3</strong> (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining)<br/><br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Expert teaching</strong> – Learn from research, industrial and teaching experts<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Industry experience</strong> – Get paid work experience with opportunities for a year out in industry<br/><br/><br/>In your first year, you’ll cover the fundamentals of chemical and environmental engineering and build a solid foundation of what it means to be a professional engineer. As you progress, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of environmental engineering theory, method and practice – and gain transferable skills such as project management, analytical thinking, leadership and teamwork.<br/><br/>By the time you graduate, you’ll have the skills, knowledge and passion to make a real difference, ready to lead the way toward a more sustainable future where engineering serves both people and the planet. You’ll also be on track to register as a professionally qualified engineer, following the relevant industrial training and experience.<br/><br/><strong>Careers</strong><br/>As an environmental engineer, you could work across vital areas such as:<br/><br/><br/>• Waste disposal and resource recovery<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Environmental compliance and pollution mitigation<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Flooding and drainage management<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Sustainable infrastructure and development<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Pollution control and environmental protection<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Land restoration from mining, farming or landfill<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Water supply and sanitation systems<br/><br/>
